238. Author’s Guild CEO: Mary Rasenberger

This week Paul interviews fellow media attorney, Mary Rasenberger, the CEO of the Author’s Guild and a law lecturer at Columbia Law School. In September 2023, the Author’s Guild, along with 17 other prominent authors, including George R.R. Martin and John Grisham filed a class action lawsuit against Open AI alleging that Open AI infringed their copyrights by using the authors' works to train Chat GPT’s large language models without the authors' consent or a license. This lawsuit could have wide-reaching implications for AI, copyright and even culture as we know it. Mary provides invaluable perspective as a media and copyright lawyer and a leader of the Author’s Guild of both the challenges presented by AI and potential paths forward for copyright and AI to co-exist.
